Pariani Chopped Italian IGP Hazelnuts

Mattia Pariani—famed Italian nut purveyor—sources his hazelnuts from local farmers in the Langhe area of Piedmont, Italy. These Italian IGP hazelnuts (which are protected by the government, like Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese) capture the true essence of what a hazelnut should taste like—rich, creamy with subtle sweet notes of toasted nuts.

After the fall harvest, Mattia and his team carefully roast the hazelnuts to toasty perfection, gently remove their skins and roughly chop them. Use these chopped nuts straight out of the jar as a garnish for everything from salads to sundaes. Or they make a lovely addition to baked goods like cookies, brownies and cakes.
